Hey all been super busy because life happens and ALTS are human. May I invite you to watch “The Devil We Know” for a quick what is PFAS and why does it matter rundown? It’s a simplification yes, but is great for starting convos on PFAS. And let me know your thoughts
Hehe
Following the post on the heist documentary, related to EPA specifically: the loss of ORD which came up in the latest budget hearing, which I didn’t take full notes on. Roughly 1600 employees were in ORD. That’s down to less than 1000. Out of that number no definitive answers were
3/ that job? Then you have roughly 600 people to do the previous ORD work. What is getting cut? What contractors will be facing layoffs because they aren’t getting work anymore? Who picks up the slack to overcome this loss? Is it the states? Is it the private companies? This is a huge loss
2/ given on who was transferred where. So, say 60% of that 1000 was transferred to continue ORD work. The remaining 40% was transferred to do work they have never done and are (potentially) unqualified to step into the role running. Big fears - will they be fired now because they can’t do
I watched this. It’s a short rundown of the (known) damage that has been done. I don’t think the full impact has been fully realized yet, but overall this was a really well done documentary. My heart is breaking for all those we lost and the resulting harm to us all
And this is a huge faux pas but my feeling on if I get investigated for attending the vigil for the loss of an coworker:
